SOLD

 I have done and sold lots of abstracts, occasionally the purchaser requires the piece to be turned from the original way I saw it.  This piece is 30”x40” mixed media I painted in 2014.  The piece was in my private collection but the purchaser offered a significant amount of money for it and requested it be turned around.  So a quick repositioning of my signature and new hardware and it was out the door to be hung in its new home.  I think all Artists have favourite pieces but sometimes it is just time to set them free.

Colour palettes

 I as an Artist try to stick to a colour palette of three colours and many shades there of.  This does not always work, but I find this is a good rule to live by.  Complimentary colours you can find by using a colour wheel or after a while your gut instinct.  Here are some examples of limiting your palette to get great impact into your paintings.
